STUDY OF THE GUN-BOOSTED ROCKET SYSTEM

Abstract

Theoretical, computational, and experimental studies were continued of rocket motion within the launcher, during tipoff, and during the burning period for conventional artillery rockets and for gun-booster artillery rockets, both spinstabilized and fin-stabilized. The factors contributing to rocket inaccuracy are described. Investigation of sources of dispersion of both fin-stabilized and spin-stabilized rockets, evaluation of the relative effects of these disturbing factors, and development of criteria for minimizing these effects in the designing and developing of new gun-boosted rocket launcher systems will continue.
